Hi Tobo,

Thanks for checking out the plugin ??

I played around with a vertical pipe to separate those data sets when I was developing the plugin and decided that it looked too much like a 1 which might dissuade users from downloading the file.

I’m thinking of adding it in as an option in a future release. I will keep you posted.

Cheers,

Nik

Hi,

Thanks for checking out the plugin ??

I am hearing this request more and more. I’m going to implement this as an option in the next release… I’m snowed under with work at the moment but I’ll get on to it ASAP.

Cheers,

Nik

Hey Marc,

Thanks for checkng out the plugin ??

I have tested the issue with the space between the colon (:) and the file size on a coupe of installs and cannot replicate it, do you have a URL that I could look at?

As for hiding the type information, you can try to add this to your CSS and see if it works. (I’m not near my dev machine at the moment and can’t try it out to know for sure)

.bfd-bottom-zero:nth-of-type(2){
 display:none;
}

Otherwise, I’ll have a look at it for the next release ??

Cheers mate,

Nik

Hi,

I’m not near the computer right now but I’m pretty sure it’s the wp_posts table.

Hi Yasir80,

There is a setting under Dowload Settings->Display Options to force PDFs (and other downloads) to open in a tab rather than download, Have you got that setting set incorrectly for your requirements?

If you have checked that and it’s still not working the way you would like then I suspect that you’re using a caching plugin. Try deleting the cache and doing a hard refresh on your bowser. That has done the trick for a few users.

I have this plugin installed on a couple of live sites and I have tested this functionality with all of them and using the force download setting works as it should on all of them.

Let me know how you get on with it ??

Cheers,

Nik

Hi Federicoaranda,

Hey Beat,

I’ll keep thinking on it. Sorry I couldn’t help. ??

Cheers mate,

Nik

Hey Beat,

Maybe it’s got something to do with the date format settings in your WordPress general settings?

If you’ve set some sort of custom date, it may be invalid. Try setting it to d.m.y Instead. Otherwise, I’m running out of ideas ??

Let me know how you go.

Hey Beat,

The Better File Download downloads are custom post types, each one is a custom post (trust me, I built it) and you are displaying them on a page.

I can only think that it’s something to do with your theme. If you have a Dev or local environment and can still be bothered, try switching themes just to see if that helps.

Cheers,

Nik

Hey Beat,

Thats odd??

WP by default lets you change the published date of a post and thats all your download is.. a custom post.

See this Article for more info.

Hi Beat,

It’s possible your host has some sort of caching scheme running that’s delaying the correct output, but it should have been corrected by now. While it shouldn’t matter, it’s worth completely flushing your browser’s cache with either CTRL + F5 or CMD + shift + R depending on whether your on Win or Mac , then loading a page in a new tab or window. Try the easy things first ??

You could also try using the Health Check plugin and see how you go.

Cheers,

Nik

Hi Beat,

If you use the display option checkbox to show the date to users the you can set the date in either edit or quick edit and the plugin will display whichever date you set.

Is this what you were after?

Cheers,

Nik

Hi Julian,

You’re welcome ??

Cheers mate,

Nik

Hi,
All done, the new release should sort that out… Sorry ??

Can you please update and let me know if that fixes the issue?

Thanks,

Nik

Hi,

I have to apologise for that, I left a debug call in the code, I will push out an update tonight (in about 9hours when I get home from work) in the mean time, you can download a clean copy from https://www.nikhaddon.com/better-file-download.

FTP into your hosting and extract the package to the wp-content>plugins folder and overwrite the existing copy.

Sorry for the inconvenience ??

Cheers,

Nik
